What are you going to do now?!?
“Floss.”
Slaughterhouse Jane is officially first-drafted.
I wrote the whole thing out longhand, with a lowball guesstimate for the words per page. I’m probably waaaay over 50K by now. Next up: typing.
I ordered myself an Acer Aspire One netbook (blue, 8G SSD with Linux, which will be a learning experience). Um, as a victory present? And deductable as a business expense! Now, if I could just remember to save book receipts…
The next goal is finishing Alien Blue and getting it out the door to agents. If you’d be willing to read a copy, let me know. I’m still going to rework the first chapter – I was experimenting and ended up making it worse than what I started with. Some spit and polish, and I think I’m ready to have agents tear it to shreds. Fortunately, I’ve received enough rejection letters that I’m okay with that.
As always, I couldn’t have done it without Lee and Ray’s support. And by “it” I mean, “have enough heart to keep going, in the face of everything.” They make life good.
send a copy on over!!
Grats!
And, yes, I’d like to see a copy. 🙂
Good luck on the linux bit, As long as you don’t change stuff, It mostly works all the time.
And I’d like to read this as well.
